Warner, Byron Marchant here.

After reading through your profile, ending here:

“…Now at age 83, after decades of serving others, offering my religious faith and lots of ‘extra’ money to good causes, and with the amazing support of my sweetheart, Kaye, I can honestly say I've had a blessed life. Much of it began in the hallowed halls of South High. Thanks to all the alumni and our teachers. Memories, memories….”

and your 26 April 2025 comments, including a recent photograph of your (and your two wives’) large family (I know something about large families, having 14 siblings from 1 set of parents), just wonder what you might have to say about a couple of things.

Do gay children go to the LDS Church’s Celestial Kingdom (I’m currently reading a 2016 book, Saving Alex, by Alex Cooper and Joanna Brooks)? Apparently they don’t.

When you offer your religious faith, do you (at least some of the time) tell people that Joseph Smith, Jr., was visited in 1820 by The Father and His Son (the New Testament Jesus Christ) in 1820 (an event the LDS Church sometimes calls The First Vision)? And if there was no 1820 First Vision, and the newly contacted convert was falsely told (at the urging of LDS Church General Authorities) that there was, does the conversion count?

And in June 1978, when these same LDS Church General Authorities later announced that they had witnessed a 1 June 1978 “Revelation” to President Spencer W. Kimball, they were again falsely testifying (because no such “Revelation” was necessary for free African blacks to be ordained, since priesthood denial had simply been a mistake). All that was necessary was an apology. So Warner, have you ever been involved in falsely telling Africans or Brazilians that there was a June 1978 “Revelation”?

And by the way, do you (or someone else who reads this) know what ever happened to Byron Burnett, one of our great South High School Cheerleaders?

Don't remember her but that's my loss. I guess she must be the twin of Dennis. What a pair if that's the case.

Jerry,
Just got an email from Robert Brey about your exploits. Congratulations. Germany sounds great. I don’t know much German, but some of my favorite people did. It’s a scholarly language: Baron d’Holbach, Bruno Bauer, Sigmund Freud…
Stay in touch. I enjoyed Lincoln and South High too.

I met Lloyd Wade, the brother of Stan Wade, at South High when he was a senior and I a junior as chemistry class students of Mr. Garrish. Mr. Garrish was a great teacher and this class acquaintance led to my meeting Stan.
 
Stan and I, while at South after our meeting each other, were able to spend a great deal of time together meeting with all his girlfriends (dozens of them), mostly West High School students. Stan and Gary Rogers were also good friends and I may have met Gary through Stan, but I’m not sure (it’s been a long time since then).
 
I was once at the Wade home on Logan Avenue, one of many times, when I overheard the remnants of a conversation between Mr. Wade and a couple of male relatives (possibly cousins to Lloyd and Stan), talking about the pros and cons of a new automobile dealership (a big business deal). Not too much later, on 13th South and Main, the Nate Wade Mazda (I believe) dealership opened there. Today (maybe then too) there is the Nate Wade Subaru dealership at 1207 South Main:
 
Stan, a fan of Elvis Presley (King of Rock and Roll) and his musical art, taught me about popular music and I could see in him how it affected his whole way of life. He eventually married a charming and beautiful West High School student our age, Janet Brinkerhoff, and they remained together until his recent death, having a family together, although (from the Internet) his life appears to have been pretty rough although financially rewarding for some of it.
 
His father it appears, obviously a man of high station in the real estate business, taught Stan the basics of collecting rents but, somehow, Stan had some shortcomings too. I have wondered if his life wasn’t cut short by control freak government operatives, like some idiot lawyers—such as a few prosecutors and judges—who may not have appreciated his free spirit (which freedom I happen to have shared with him), reflected in his love of Elvis and that great music.
 
His big brother Lloyd apparently still lives in South Salt Lake and has spent his life as a scientist (electrician), a profession that I also learned and greatly appreciate.

Quite a heritage you and Mack have, Elaine. I’m now a great grandpa, with the birth 30 September 2023 of Joanna Elaine Tare (to my granddaughter Molly Fischer Tare and Klodi Tare). Hope you’re doing well.

It’s been a while since I posted something here. However, I’ve been busy doing research on American politics and American medicine. Here it is:

Dr. Zev Zelenko Who Saved Thousands of Lives During the COVID Pandemic - Passes Away After Long Battle with Cancer | The Gateway Pundit | by Jim Hoft

How can any American vote for Trump or Biden when they both, following the deadly 15 June 2020 FDA protocol (prohibiting medical doctors from treating COVID-19 patients with low dose HCQ and zinc):
https://www.fda.gov/media/138945/download

resulting in 27 to 1 more deaths that the alternative treatment.

“…Up to the time of his death, Zev had overseen the treatment of approximately 7,500 patients using his protocol and experienced only three patient deaths. The use of the Zelenko protocol has spread worldwide…”:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/06/dr-zev-zelenko-saved-thousands-lives-covid-pandemic-passes-away-long-battle-cancer/

Thus Zelenko, had 3 total deaths while treating 7,500 patients (1 death/2,500 patients average) during his lifetime.
The US, according to the WHO (08/17/2023), has suffered 1 death for every 91.9577671526 patients:
107,787,609/1,172,270= 91.9477671526:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

or

2,500/91.9477671526/= 27.189349751701

Therefore, if you tested COVID-19 positive in the USA and were not treated by Dr. Zelenko and his treatment protocol, your chance of death was 27/1 times better (of suffering death) than if Zelenko had treated you in his NY “Country Doctor” office. I hear the same is the case at the Kentucky office of Dr. James Buckmaster:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ywdQkZ6gvC8

if he can still treat you with low dose HCQ and zinc.

It isn’t every year that your birthday is celebrated with a turkey dinner and all the rest.
Enjoy your special day. And give my best to Becky.

Clean-cut Timm, so glad to see you with your hair down. I'll always remember how the Southern Belles were jealous of his eyes. His life was a thing of beauty and he'll be missed.

David was my first school-age friend, he being born a month after me and living across the street. Both of us were named Byron along with his father Byron Goodfellow.

David (Dave came later) was a good friend throughout all our public school years. His father was a postman with other special talents, all of which David picked up. For example, they (Byron and David) spent some of their busy spare time rewinding electric motors (contract work of some kind) and David always seemed occupied.

His father eventually became our Liberty Ward Scoutmaster and under his and David's leadership, most Troop Members earned their Eagle rank as Boy Scouts.

During high school, I remember the first time seeing his new girl friend, Nancy Curley, to meet his family (I guess) and I was impressed. They soon married and raised a fine family. The best I can say about David is that he was my lifelong friend and neighbor. Thanks for being there, David!

And you, brother Inkley, were the mission president. Finally some sanity. The last time I saw Dale Ellis was at his State Street store hangout. Those were the days, almost like being back in school. What a guy. He'll be missed.

Here’s a response for those interested in the coming reunion:

Cubs,

With 1,000,000+ American COVID-19 deaths so far, the management of this pandemic certainly deserves to be called a failure:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

especially since the following scientific success became available (and has been ignored by the powers that be) as a cure so long ago:

“Hydroxychloroquine cocktail saves lives of high-risk Covid-19 patients - The Palmer Foundation”

https://www.palmerfoundation.com.au/hydroxychloroquine-cocktail-saves-lives-of-high-risk-covid-19-patients/

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924857920304258?via%3Dihub

Is it really any kind of a mystery that African countries, which sell Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) over the counter (OTC), often to treat malaria, have far fewer COVID-19 deaths per million population than those which promote the use of masks and vaccines as a prevention? Of course not:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
?
Why does the White House continue to support the FDA’s so-called experts’ insistence against the use by medical doctors (the real medical scientists) of this life saving low dose HCQ and zinc treatment/cure and not let them sort it out, instead of relying on failed government bureaucrats?

https://www.fda.gov/media/138945/download

And why does America’s Constitutional and legal establishment silently allow all this death by Executive Branch (HHS and FDA) lawmaking by fiat, with barely a peep, while all the unnecessary deaths continue to mount?
